Today in Pro Wrestling History (July 22): Vince McMahon Acquitted
The prosecution’s star witness was originally supposed to be Hulk Hogan, but the Hulkster eventually testified that McMahon never ordered him to take nor sold him steroids. McMahon himself also testified and admitted that he had taken steroids during the 1980s.
